President Donald Trump has been granted an appeal that could lift the sweeping gag order imposed by the Biden-supporting judge in his politically motivated “hush-money” case in New York.
The order prevented Trump from speaking about New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan or his family’s ties to Democrats.
As Slay News has previously reported, Merchan and his family have worked for and donated to the campaigns of several high-profile anti-Trump Democrats, including President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
This is a win against George Soros-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the partisan Democrat prosecutor who brought the case against Trump.
The case is widely regarded as an attempt by the Democrats to derail Trump’s 2024 campaign.
The Appellate Division First Department will now review the issue, Breitbart reported.
The order prevented Trump from speaking out against witnesses in his trial as well as “members of the court’s staff and the District Attorney’s staff, or … the family members of any counsel or staff member if those statements are made with the intent to materially interfere with … counsel’s or staff’s work.”
Bragg was not included in the gag order.
Trump’s legal team argued he should have the right to speak about his trial in the public sphere.
